Why are boxing fans so damn negative???

Sancionig bodies dont make rules. Boxing has has a rule book and point system, the judges are not universal and it hirts boxing. Low blows elbows and clinching for example along with head butts are not enforced equally . Hbo will have mma and drop boxing , mark my words. Sancioning bodies being outside the US will be a big reason why boxing internationally will keep going. Boxing is unraveling , its just a matter of time You said In The usa boxing rules are not enforced. No structure of the best fighting best.Again please explain how are rules not enforced? we have officials making mistake all over the world if thats what you mean and really the UK is one of the worst places to fight in despite its apparent corruption its perhaps the top nation for Boxing! -- you said ' No structure of the best fighting the best.' you do realize boxing is a global sport right? not confined to the U.S.A I provided a few list of fights that have already taken place where the best have fought each other and some fights already agreed upon for 2017. Lastly you said....''Sancioning bodies being outside the US will be a big reason why boxing internationally will keep going.'' Its been that way for how long now? going on 50 + years? Despite what you believe that boxing is dying this sport just set a record last year for highest PPV with Pac-May and PBC is now return to free TV in more homes than ever -- again buddy I'm sorry to disappoint just dropping knowledge learn to love it ; no barefoot hillbilly gay pro wrestling sport is going to stop this.

I get criticism of the way the sport is run, the lack of structure, the excess of titles and sanctioning organisations, but I always find it weird how so many 'boxing fans' that post on this (and other forums) dedicate so much time and efforts to throwing insults at the very guys we're here to watch.

We have every reason to be unhappy with how this sport is run. It's the only sport in the world we don't know who the best is. We call fights that should be happening 'fantasy match ups'... Yup the politics in boxing which is stifling many good fights from being made, it's not hard to see why so many are unhappy.

What exactly does this mean? the sanctioning bodies that order fights are based outside of the U.S with the exception of the IBF ( which ironically is pro foreign fighters if you look at their list of champions.) last time I checked there is no 'AMERICAN' rules or governing body. And the opposite is true in your statement about MMA being on HBO -- Showtime had MMA with Boxing what ever happened to ' Strikeforce ' ? on the contrary boxing expanded to free TV with PBC too more homes than ever before on free tv.....sorry buddy you sound like you hate boxing and wish it failed or died ; that will never happen. Sanctioning bodies dont make rules. Boxing has has a rule book and point system, the judges are not universal and it hurts boxing.

Boxing in the USA is fading away. In The usa boxing rules are not enforced. No structure of the best fighting best. Boxing in 20 yrs will be rare . hbo won't even have a boxing program in 10 years. Pbc will be gone . ESPN and HBO will be airing mma fights . Wanting to go pro in boxing will be like not being able to make the NBA and going oversees to play basketball. Boxers will have to go fight in mexico and the UK and Germany along with Russia. I think fighters/promoters like RJJ have already noticed this shift.

Agreed, but only on this site though, it has filled up with immature children like adults that treat the real athletes in this sport like garbage, degrade them and even throw racial slurs out. It's like whenever fans don't get what they want out of a certain fighter they start talking sh*t and resort to children like behavior, please go watch wrestling or something because you are the people that are killing our sport.

ducking, cherry picking, acting like a fool by certain fighters part tend to do that to real boxing fan man.

Crolla-Linares (Lineal) Happened!!! Cruz-Frampton Happened!!! Mikey-Zlalaltla is coming soon , Garcia-Thurman going down!!! Degale-Jack is next!!! Lebedev just unified!!! but....but.....da MMA tho.

Born losers its that simple above all ignorance: most of these so called fans dont understand the structure of the sport ; whats a sanctioning body what protocol is followed to determine what fight is ordered....they come here on this board and dont know sh*t! but they do know who is very very very....very popular......Oh look its dat triple GGG guy! when is Floyd coming back? We been seeing the best fight the best!!!! Pac-May happened! , Klitscko-Fury happened! , Usk-Glowaki happened! Crawford-Postol happened!!! Chocolatito-Cuadras Happened!!! Yamanaka-Moreno Happened!!! Ward-Kovalev coming soon!!! Walters-Loma Happening --- STFU!!! You b*tch ass fake mofos!

I hear ya fellas but what can we as fans do (besides NOT ordering BS PPVs)? Maybe we should start a petition to hbo and showtime of current subscribers. Send it to them letting them know that have 3 months. If they don't start giving us quality. We will cancel. Just a thought.

I've never seen any other sport in which fans trash fighters on such a continuous basis. Seems like no matter what the fighters do or who they fight boxing fans are never happy. SMH Because being an ungrateful, condescending, whiny f*ck is a form of entertainment for most around here. It actually seems to be the same for most sports in general. For some strange reason those that can't be professional athletes always think they know better than those that actually are or have been.

it's cause top fighters aren't fighting each other

I hear ya fellas but what can we as fans do (besides NOT ordering BS PPVs)?

90% of boxing right now is focused on what fights AREN'T happening. Fans are tired of it.

yeah!!!! everyone should just STFU and eat up these turd sandwiches and act like they are delicious :lame:
